As per title. I really hope it doesn’t get to this but with the energy crisis I figured this is probably relevant again.

Kmart and Big W have cheap options. Please leave some for the homeless! But if you’re really struggling tents can be had as cheaply as $13 with the next rank up being $39.

It goes without saying, please be careful about heating inside your tent. All of the warnings about fire hazards and carbon monoxide apply. Stay safe.

I live in a hovel and dislike my king…

Edit: You can get zippable lookalikes to go around your mattress on your bed for privacy, but if you’re not up to spending that much or won’t sleep in there a cheap standard tent is much cheaper.
